Day 1: The German Leadership Summit

Today, 8300+ German and Swiss leaders have been envisioned, equipped and inspired. From the reports at the site, as soon as the doors to the venue opened, these enthusiastic leaders literally ran to grab the best seats for the packed line-up they had to look forward to. Here is a report and some pictures sent by Marty O'Connor, one of our representatives there:

Friends,

Day 1 is done… 4 sessions completed.

The Psalmist says it this way in Psalm 75…
We give thanks to you, O God, we give thanks, for your Name is near; men tell of your wonderful deeds.

God was in the house here in German and in Switzerland!


Worship, Drama…
Hybels,
Jessica Jackley,
Dr. Fredmund Malik,
… and we finished with Craig Groeschel.

What a sight and a gift to see this. The place is FULL. This HUGE barn is full! The teams have stepped up to the plate today… across the board. Sound, lights, video, streaming, graphic and the stage teams. People were blessed… I was blessed. What a good day… thanks for partnering with us in prayer… God heard and answered!

BIG day tomorrow… John Ortberg, Nancy Beach and Larry Crabb.
Please continue to pray…

Blessings from Karlsruhe,

Marty





Check in again tomorrow for a full report on all God has done here...

@Marty & all other servants by Willow Creek Community Church: THANK YOU for being here these days. THANK YOU for your incredible passion to serve the Lord and HIS people in Germany and Switzerland. What a privilige to have you here with us.

I'm a participant of the event, living near to Karlsruhe. For all German speaking visitors of this page: I've started to write my own blog with some impressions of the summit (in German it would be called "Willow Creek Leitungskongress"), which you will find here: http://pnething.blogspot.com. Basically, it contains summaries of selected messages that we were blessed with these days here in Germany (or Switzerland). Would be great to get some response and discussion from there.

Best,
Phil
